Manchester United vs Brentford: Match preview
Manchester United currently sit third in the Premier League table and are battling for a place in the UEFA Champions League. The side has 58 points after 33 rounds, level with both Liverpool and Aston Villa. However, United still have a game in hand and could move ahead of both clubs, while also opening an 11-point gap over sixth place. In their previous outing, they beat Chelsea 1-0, although that followed a defeat to Leeds and a draw with Bournemouth. Overall, the situation still looks quite positive.
Brentford, meanwhile, have not been in the best form recently, going six matches without a win, with five draws and one defeat. Despite that run, the team sits ninth in the table and still has a very strong chance of pushing for European qualification. The Bees currently have 48 points and also have a game in hand. They are one point behind seventh place and two behind sixth. That means a victory over Manchester United would send them significantly higher in the standings.
Probable line-ups
- Manchester United: Lammens; Dalot, Heaven, Maguire, Shaw; Mainoo, Casemiro; Amad, Fernandes, Cunha; Mbeumo
- Brentford: Kelleher; Kayode, Van den Berg, Collins, Lewis-Potter; Jensen, Yarmolyuk; Ouattara, Damsgaard, Schade; Thiago
Prediction
Manchester United defeated Chelsea in the last round and now have a chance to strengthen their hold on third place. Brentford are equally motivated, with sixth place within reach. That should give us an excellent contest, and my suggested pick is both teams to score.
